Google You

Google your name and you will find

Electronic doppelgänger of your mind

Ancient binary detritus left behind

First your changing Facebook face

Minutiae and trivia of the world you grace

When gone the blue with black replace

Next comes your working impression

Depths of present job depression

Then abandoned workplace regression

Old offices still use your face unpaid

Followed by life resuméed and displayed

Professional lies and desperate wants arrayed

See every article you’ve ever typed

Never read or published despite being hyped

The book that never sold was tripe

Last appear forgotten one page blogs

Ineffaceable data trails and logs

The internet ignores the space it hogs

This dead digital immortality

Lacks true achievement’s luster or quality

But keeps us alive in civilized banality
